An equimolar mixture of water and ethanol is to be separated using ethylene glycol as an entrainer such that each product stream has 99. Due to the lack of data in the consulted bibliography to. Therefore the alcohol rich stream should be the bottom stream of the. Parametric study of an ethanolwater distillation column. If energy was cheap and the ethanol water system was ideal, then this rather simple distillation system would suffice for the separation of the beer feed into a relatively pure ethanol overhead product and a bottoms product of stillage, cleanly stripped of its ethanol content.
